Benefits of technology

The present patent aims to provide a wearable device and method for controlling it that can generate reference data for multiple reference objects to update pre-stored reference data or obtain the weight of the object being measured. Additionally, it aims to use the measurement data and reference data to generate user identification information for identifying the user wearing the device.

Problems solved by technology

As a result, it may be disadvantageous in that the accuracy of the weight of the held object, which is estimated by using the bio-signal, may be degraded.

Abstract

A wearable device and a method for controlling the same are disclosed herein. The wearable device, comprising a bio-signal sensor unit configured to sense a bio-signal; a storage unit configured to store data; and a processor configured to control the bio-signal sensor unit and the storage unit, wherein the processor is further configured to: generate first reference data including a weight of a first reference object and a first bio-signal being generated by holding the first reference object when the first bio-signal is detected, generate measurement data including a second bio-signal being generated by holding a measurement object, when the second bio-signal is detected, and obtain a weight of the measurement object by comparing the measurement data with the first reference data.

Description

[0001]This application claims the benefit of the Korean Patent Application No. 10-2013-0145079, filed on Nov. 27, 2013, which is hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Field of the Invention[0003]The present specification relates to a wearable device. And, most particularly, the present specification relates to a wearable device that can generate reference data and measurement data and that can obtain a weight of an object that is to be measured (hereinafter referred to as a “measurement object”) by comparing the two different data sets.[0004]Discussion of the Related Art[0005]With the technical evolution, research and development of wearable devices are being accelerated. Herein, a wearable device refers to a device that can be naturally and easily worn on a user's body, such as clothing or accessories, i.e., watches, glasses, rings, and so on. Since the wearable device is being worn on the user's body, bio-signals of the user...
